Anti-Japanese War, weapons designer at Fengtian Arsenal

“Ahhhhhhhh!!!”

The ronin who was whipped lay on the ground howling, and he felt as if he had been stabbed from behind.

In fact, it didn't matter. Li Changyin's whip took off two taels of flesh from his back. If he had dug it open a little, he could have seen the bones.

The other two ronin were shocked when they saw this, and drew their samurai swords from their waists and glared at Li Changyin.

"Bakayarō!! How dare you, a damned Chinese, attack the citizens of the Empire of Japan! You are courting death!!"

One of the ronin rushed up with a samurai sword in hand, completely ignoring Li Changyin's military uniform and the dozens of armed guards beside him. One can imagine how arrogant and domineering he was.

In this man's opinion, these soldiers in front of him were nothing more than traitors supported by a certain empire. He had seen many such traitors. No matter who the commanders or generals were, when they met the citizens of the Great Japanese Empire, they had no choice but to bow down and grovel.

No matter how low the status of these ronin is, they are still Japanese; no matter how high the Chinese official position is, they are still Chinese.

Therefore, he completely ignored the fact that Zhang Haipeng's uniform looked different from that of ordinary soldiers, and went forward with his samurai sword, intending to chop down the guy who dared to offend him.

However, Li Changyin just swung his hand fiercely and swung the whip towards the other party's face. With a snap, a scarlet whip mark appeared on the ronin's face, and one of his eyeballs was shattered.

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!”

The ronin dropped his katana, covered his blind eyes, and rolled on the ground, howling in unison with his friend.

The third ronin was stunned when he saw this. How dare he? How dare he attack the citizens of the Empire of Japan!

In shock and anger, he pulled out a pistol from his waist and pointed it at Li Changyin, but Li Changyin was faster than him. He pulled out a box gun from his waist like lightning and fired two shots, directly smashing the ronin's palm. All three ronin fell to the ground howling in pain.

Li Changyin walked over and helped Zhang Zhi, who was beaten like a pig, up, and started to scold him: "What the hell is wrong with you? You were beaten into this state by three Japanese devils. Is the gun on your waist for comforting your lonely Juhua at night? You have no character at all! Don't say you are my son when you go out next time. I'm afraid people will laugh at me!"

Zhang Zhi felt aggrieved and said with a pig-like face: "Dad, we are in Japanese territory. I am only enduring this to avoid causing trouble for you!"

Li Changyin glared at the guy and asked, "So how did you get into a fight with these three devils?"

Zhang Zhi quickly shook his head and waved his hands to deny it.

"Dad, I didn't initiate the fight with them, they were the ones who started it.

Earlier, these three Japanese soldiers were drinking at the table opposite to me, and they were shouting in Chinese, saying that you lost the battle and gave away all the troops, and that you were useless, and that you were a dog for them and couldn't even look after your own home. I was so angry that I argued with them, but before I could say a few words, the three of them came up and beat me up!"

When Li Changyin heard this, he thought to himself, you boy still knows how to protect me. He was about to ask him to go get some medicine when he suddenly heard the sound of leather military boots stomping on the ground outside the door. A squad of Japanese soldiers surrounded the outside of the restaurant, and dozens of Japanese soldiers rushed into the restaurant, pointing their Type 38 rifles at everyone on the first floor.

The leader was a Japanese captain. When he saw three bloody ronin lying on the ground, his brows frowned.

"Baga! Who did it? Who fired the gun? Stand up!"

Before Li Changyin could say anything, the ronin who was shot in the hand started shouting loudly.

"Sir! It's him! This damn Chinese attacked us! Kill him quickly!"

The Japanese captain looked at Li Changyin standing in the middle of the tavern. Seeing that he was wearing a military uniform, with a gun on his waist and a dozen soldiers behind him, he frowned and took a few steps back, but still scolded: "Asshole! How dare you shoot casually in the city! And you dare to injure the citizens of the Empire of Japan! You are committing a serious crime, put down your gun quickly, otherwise I will execute you on the spot!"

Seeing the aggressive man, Li Changyin snorted coldly and took off his warm military jacket to reveal his military uniform.

He pointed his whip at the Japanese captain and shouted, "Open your dog eyes and see what I'm carrying on my shoulders. How dare you, a little captain, be so arrogant in front of me? Do you think your life is not good enough and want to end it now?"

When the Japanese captain saw the two general stars on Li Changyin's shoulders, his pupils dilated slightly, thinking that this old fat man was actually a lieutenant general!

But then he put on a sneer on his face again. So what if he is a lieutenant general? The Chinese armed forces who can stand here are just dogs raised by the empire.

A dog, even if he is a marshal, he is still a dog!

The Japanese captain sneered and shouted again: "Chinese! Put down your gun! Otherwise I will order you to be executed on the spot!"

In fact, he did not dare to do so. He was just making big talk to see if he could scare the Chinese general. After all, the general held the rank of general. This kind of person must be well-known among the high-ranking officials of the Kwantung Army. If he killed him rashly, it would interfere with the plans of the high-ranking officials, which would be disastrous.

But he won't be held accountable if he just shows off his power. Anyway, all the commanders and generals he met before could be intimidated by him, so there is no reason why he can't be intimidated by the person in front of him, right?

Unfortunately, he miscalculated this time. Li Changyin was not someone who could be intimidated by a few words. Under the gaze of everyone, he walked forward, came in front of the Japanese captain, and suddenly slapped him in the face.

With a crisp sound, everyone present was stunned and looked at Li Changyin with disbelief.

The Japanese captain staggered a few steps after being hit. He touched his red and swollen cheek, his eyes full of disbelief.

"You...how dare you! How dare you!"

With a slap, Li Changyin slapped the Japanese captain again, and the captain staggered again. This time he felt the real experience, he was really beaten.

"Ah, you're looking for death!"

The Japanese captain was so angry that he pulled out his pistol and pointed it at Li Changyin's chest, his face full of viciousness.

Li Changyin smiled, stretched out his hand to hold the pistol, moved the muzzle to his forehead, and said jokingly: "Listen carefully, you idiot, I am Zhang Haipeng, invited by the commander of the Kwantung Army, Honjo Shigeru, to Fengtian City to discuss the establishment of the Manchurian Empire. The person you are pointing your gun at is not an ordinary general, but the founding general of the Manchurian Empire!

Now, your chance to change your fate has come. Pull the trigger and you will be able to kill a lieutenant general. You may never have a second chance to kill a lieutenant general in your life.

How about it? Isn't this idea very tempting? You are just a small captain, and no one will remember you after you die. But now, a chance for you to be recorded in history books has appeared. You only need to pull the trigger lightly and shoot my brains out, and your name will be recorded in human history along with my death motto.

The history books of later generations will record that you killed Zhang Haipeng, which led to the failure of the Kwantung Army's plan to prepare for the Manchurian Empire, and further led to the failure of Japan's plan to attack China. You will become a national sinner of Japan, your family will be arrested and tortured, and your name will be recorded in Japan's elementary school textbooks, just like Qin Hui in China, and become a traitor despised by everyone! "

These words made the Japanese captain sweat profusely, and the hand holding the gun began to tremble.

A grassroots officer like him had some understanding of the establishment of the Manchurian Empire. In order to make the Manchurian Empire more influential, the top leaders of the Kwantung Army used coercion and inducement to make the leaders of various parties in the Northeast agree to the establishment of the Manchurian Empire and become "founding heroes". The Zhang Haipeng in front of him was one of the targets to be won over.

If he really shot Zhang Haipeng to death, other Chinese officials who agreed to establish the Manchurian Empire would probably reconsider whether it was worth it.

After all, when they agreed to become the founding heroes of the Manchurian Empire, they were declared traitors and would be infamous for eternity. They paid so much, but they were still shot to death by a small Japanese captain. Was it really worth it?

The Japanese captain was so powerful that he felt embarrassed to put down his gun, but he didn't dare to really shoot if he didn't put it down, so he was held up.

When he was in a dilemma, footsteps suddenly came from outside the door, and a Japanese colonel led a group of officers in. This Japanese colonel was an acquaintance of Li Changyin, and it was Colonel Saiki who had been beaten up by him before.

At this time, Colonel Saiki had a thick gauze wrapped around his nose and two front teeth were missing from his mouth. He looked as if everyone owed him a million or eight hundred thousand.

Ben Zhuangfan, who was working in the office, received information from a spy that Zhang Haipeng had arrived in Fengtian City and was having dinner in the hotel, but somehow he had a confrontation with a patrolling military police.

The establishment of the Manchurian Empire was imminent, and Zhang Haipeng was one of the key figures. Honjo Shigeru did not want any mistakes, so he asked Colonel Saiki to go and bring Zhang Haipeng to see him personally.

Colonel Qi Mu looked at Zhang Haipeng, who was so arrogant even though a gun was pointed at his head. His eyelids twitched unconsciously. When two enemies meet, they are extremely jealous of each other. He really hoped that the captain would shoot Zhang Haipeng to death.

Unfortunately, he remembered what Commander Honjo Shigeru said to him when he left.

"There was a big problem in your previous communication with General Zhang. You deserved to be beaten. Go and apologize to General Zhang sincerely and eliminate the estrangement between you two!"

Whenever he thought of what Commander Honjo Shigeru said, a look of shame would appear on his face, but he still had to obey.

Colonel Saiki stepped forward, grasped the Japanese captain's pistol and gently pressed it down, then slightly bent down and said to Li Changyin: "General Zhang, Commander Honjo Shigeru wants to see you."

The Japanese captain thought that someone had finally come to rescue him, so he put away his pistol and returned to the gendarmerie.

Li Changyin looked at the bandage on Colonel Saiki's face and smiled.

"Hey, hey, isn't this Colonel Saiki? We haven't seen each other for a few days. You're like this now?"

Colonel Saiki's face became extremely distorted for a moment, but the pain from the torn wound made him regain his sanity.

He bent down slightly and said reluctantly: "General Zhang, I was wrong about what I said before, I sincerely apologize to you!! "

Li Changyin walked forward with a smile and patted Colonel Saiki on the shoulder.

"Be good, that's right. Don't be so arrogant next time. You'll get beaten to death easily!"

Colonel Saiki's eyes were filled with hatred, but he could only express his submission with his mouth.

"Ha Yi! General Zhang is teaching you a lesson. General Zhang, can you come with me to see Commander Honjo Shigeru? The commander has been waiting for a long time."

Li Changyin said that he would go with him, but before leaving the hotel, Li Changyin stopped in front of the Japanese captain.

The Japanese captain was in a daze at this time. He couldn't understand why an imperial colonel would apologize to a Chinese general? This was different from their usual style.

As he was thinking about it, he suddenly felt a pain on his face and fell to the ground with a cry.

Li Changyin shook his hands with a smiling expression on his face.
